Silver argiope

Argiope argentata

Description:

Large spider with very distinctive pattern.

Notes:

Found in the courtyard of a small winery. No one there had ever seen a spider like it before. It was eating another insect when we photographed it.

Thank you! It was menacing and beautiful at the same time ... Probably the look it was going for.
